Three dotterel on Dove Crag last night on our trot round the Fairfield Horseshoe.

Swifts arrived here the day after you saw yours Navigator

I'm hoping to see and hear one of my favourite birds this weekend in the Strid Woods - the wood warbler

We also spotted a group of three Dotterel on High Street lasy week! Very handsome the male was too!!! :)

Today on my walk around site I saw a little stoat...then the usual buzzards, twite, oystercatchers etc.

How did you know it wasn't a weasel?

...or possibly not, having 'googled' it!! You've got me now!! I think Stoats are bigger with shorter tail, according to Wiki, they also have the black tail end! But now not sure wether weasels have a black tip! I'm sticking with Stoat after 'extensive' research!! :)

Weasels just look like long mice...
